Hi,

until I found my problem with "ééé.html" on the mac, I was happy with the method that I exposed briefly in my previous message.

Works (well, almost ;-)) on the mac, and on windoze (for http urls served by Apache 2). The uri can be inserted directly into html.

However, I think it's an error (at least for the moment, and for european languages) not to stick to us ascii for filenames that should be served by a web server. The RFC about uris says only us ascii is allowed. So, if you want to have special characters in your filenames (as I do, for aesthetic reasons and well, because my language uses them), you end up with uris that are full of %, and that are very unaesthetic. Or you risk to get problems with software that do not handle correctly non ASCII chars in uris. Another potential problem is if you want to change the OS of your server.

Best regards,

fps

I've also been bitten by the URI translation problem, but from URI escape sequence to non-english languages - it appears that there are multiple schemes to encode...

Does anyone here have any leads on a Java technique to translate that works more times than less?

Thanks in advance,

Larry
